“…This study also highlighted the requirement to both develop a competency model to guide the required digital health competencies for health service managers [45,47], as well as embedding competency assessment into management competency development processes [44][45][46]. The need to include management and leadership competencies that focus on enabling system-wide transformation in the current digital context, was also evidenced [27].…”

“…The three-step approach undertaken in this study has confirmed the pressing need to incorporate digital health related competencies in the existing training curriculum for health services managers, further, it has highlighted the important role of short-term targeted training in developing a health management workforce that is digital health ready. The policy settings for the digital health management workforce also need to provide an increased focus on leading and managing digital transformation, and the competencies that can inform organizational capability, professional credentialing, postgraduate curricula and industry certifications [27]. Factors that enable the development of the requisite health management workforce capabilities and systemwide capacity may include appropriate policy, supportive organizational systems and structure, aligned education and training offerings, and capacity of the organisation in supportive digital health adoption [38,43,54,55].…”

“…The provision of skill development for the health workforce relies on the combined efforts between university programs, professional institutions and individual healthcare organizations. Using the health service management (HSM) workforce in Australia as an example, at the institutional level, its development relies on 21 In Australia now, there are a slowly developing number of digital health postgraduate program offerings, but they are not specifically targeting health service managers, and the capacity in developing HSM is limited [27].

“…New postgraduate degrees focused on systematic development of digital health professionals have also been developed and offered by a small number of Australian Universities. However, whether the policies and revised frameworks have been translated into guiding the development of the HSM workforce that is digital health ready, remains unclear [27].…”

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has sped up digital health transformation across the health sectors to enable innovative health service delivery. Such transformation relies on competent managers with the capacity to lead and manage. However, the health system has not adopted a holistic approach in addressing the health management workforce development needs, with many hurdles to overcome. The objectives of this paper are to present the findings of a three-step approach in understanding the current hurdles in developing a health management workforce that can enable and maximise the benefits of digital health transformation, and to explore ways of overcoming such hurdles. Methods: A three-step, systematic approach was undertaken, including an Australian digital health policy documentary analysis, an Australian health service management postgraduate program analysis, and a scoping review of international literatures. Results: The main findings will guide the formulation of strategies in developing a digitally enabled health management workforce in the digital health era. Conclusions: With the ever-changing landscape of digital health, being able to lead and manage in times of system transformation requires a holistic approach to develop the necessary health management workforce capabilities and system-wide capacity. The evidence would support that this can be achieved with the required system, policy, educational and professional organizational enablers, which drive a digital health focused approach across all the healthcare sectors, in a coordinated and contextual manner.

Results: The main findings of the three-step approach confirmed the strategies required in developing a digitally enabled health management workforce and efforts in enabling managers in leading and managing in the digital health space. Conclusions: With the ever-changing landscape of digital health, leading and managing in times of system transformation requires a holistic approach to develop the necessary health management workforce capabilities and system-wide capacity. The proposed framework, for overall health management workforce development in the digital health era, suggests that national collaboration is necessary to articulate a more coordinated, consistent, and coherent set of policy guidelines and the system, policy, educational, and professional organizational enablers that drive a digital health focused approach across all the healthcare sectors, in a coordinated and contextual manner.
